Bringing people together through Argentine tango, fostering connection, culture, and belonging across DC.

Mercurio is the Spanish word for Mercury, an ancient symbol of connection. Mercury is the mythological messenger with wings on his feet, guiding mortals to the afterlife and promoting trade between communities.
That image resonates with our experience of Argentine tango: in its embrace, where two partners connect to become one; and in its communities, where dancers and visitors meet across boundaries of identity, class, and generation.
Founded by Sharna Fabiano in 2008, Tango Mercurio works to develop these connections, presenting the creative tango tradition as a way for individuals to find balance in their lives and discover the unique contributions they have to make in the world through creative expression in social dance.
Through public classes, milongas, teacher training, and outreach, we make sure the people who might never encounter tango get to feel what it does: presence, trust, and belonging, three minutes at a time.
